SHORT TERM...
(Tonight and Tuesday)
Gusty northwest winds will become north and decrease to 5 to mph

Central Texas. Expect overnight lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s,
although a few low lying areas may drop into the mid 30s. Quiet

LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Monday)
Dry weather will continue from mid week through much of extended
period, with well above warmer temperatures expected from Thursday
through the upcoming weekend. An upper level ridge will move east
across the Rockies and into the Plains from mid to late week, then
southwest flow aloft develops over the weekend ahead of a broad
mid/upper level trough across the western CONUS. High temperatures
from Friday through Sunday are expected to reach the upper 80s,
with even some lower 90s possible as the low thermal ridge
strengthens. Overnight temperatures will be warm as well, with
lows in the upper 50s and lower 60s by the end of the week into
the weekend.
Looking ahead, the next chance for showers and thunderstorms
will be Sunday night into Monday as the aforementioned upper
trough interacts with a potential cold frontal passage.
